Abstract
The present invention is directed to an outside diameter adjuster for a folding cylinder. The folding cylinder rotates about an axis and has a basic body having a columnar outer circumferential face, where an outer circumferential member forms one portion of the outer circumferential face of the basic body and is movable in a radial direction of the basic body by the angular displacement of an eccentric portion. The eccentric portion is angularly displaced by gears to which it is connected. These gears are connected to other gears, some of which are helical gears, that are configured to rotate and/or axially move in a manner such that the angular displacement of the eccentric portion can be totally controlled by the movement of the gears while the folding cylinder rotates.
